Anthony Barr wins Lott IMPACT Trophy

UCLA linebacker Anthony Barr won the Lott IMPACT Trophy today, his first major national honor this season. The award identifies the best defensive player in college football, but also weighs personal character. The other finalists were USC’s Devon Kennard, Wisconsin’s Chris Borland and Iowa’s James Morris.

Barr is also a finalist for the Lombardi and Bednarik Awards — given to the top lineman on either side of the ball and the top defensive player, respectively. The senior lost the Butkus Award for best linebacker to Alabama’s C.J. Mosley.

We will miss you AB! Wish you were coming back next year! Tear it up in the pros. Hope you get drafted be fore Clown-Ey!

I seriously hate it when people change names as if it’s a substantive point. Embarrassingly childish.

Anyways, all the best to Anthony at the next level! May he have a long and successful career! He’s done so much for us

Sorry. I don’t follow?

Sorry, was a bit out of it when I commented.

Your comment isn’t all that bad compared to others, but imo posts that tweak people’s names to try and insult someone come off as immature.

In this case “Clown-Ey”

EncinitasBruin

Lighten up, Francis. Or, perhaps I should toy with the name and say FRANCE-IS.

Like rearranging “Scarface”?

Joe Blow

“Anyways”? No comment.

Barr is a great player. Will go first round. Ate SC’s lunch every year, including when he lost. He is a stud. The Lott Trophy is a total joke. A bunch of rich guys in Newport that want to sniff jocks. I don’t knock Barr, he SHOULD get the Butkus.

Bruin 34

Newport is a joke! Agreed! So glad I moved from SoCal and that crud hole! Don’t miss anything about it! Now SUC will have to deal with Jack for at least two more years. Question for you Joe. What are the thoughts of SUC fans on Sarkisians hire?

Stu Azole

They LOVE the hire. Because, well, they didn’t want Petersen and got the man best for the job. Er, yeah…

Joe Blow

That is true. Petersen will wilt under pressure. Got his teams up to for two to three games in his career. Played JCs most of the time. And Sark can raise $$$$ which is part of the job.

ProbationU

Raising $$$ is supposed to be Haden’s job….but what the heck…Mora seems to be doing Guerrero’s job for him too.

Joe Blow

Actually that is not true in either case. If the coach does not “connect” with the donor, the school won’t get AS MUCH cash. Trust me Mora ain’t gettin’ no new facilities without busting HIS rear end to get the alums to cough up the cash.

Marc

What the heck happened?

No snarky comments?

Did you get visited by ghosts of Christmas past, present, and future last night?

Wow!

Joe Blow

No. Got some service from Santiago Matamoros old lady.

ProbationU

Good AD’s raise cash. We don’t have a good AD….therefore Mora is doing his job for him….pushing and pushing for the school to get serious. Without Mora none of it happens…agreed. Without Mora there is no additional $$$ for the assistants and we lose Adrian Klemm to SC…or both of them to UW. We have a weak AD. Starting to wonder about your boy Haden…but then he isn’t your boy…but you do like Sark. We will see if Sark can win enough to keep the job.

Joe Blow

They both have too. You do have a weak AD, so do we. Not one sport at SC is better since PH came. Sark will prove a lot of people wrong.

ProbationU

Barr didn’t get the Butkus. Total joke. Went to Mosley from Alabama. East coast bias strikes again. Also didn’t get D player of the year in PAC12. Went to the fat guy from ASU. Another joke.

Oh well, he will be a Top 5 pick and get plenty of $$$ in the league.

Joe Blow

As much as I hate to say it: I agree with you.

ProbationU

That is a rarity JB….perhaps today is the day I should buy a lottery ticket.
